Well said Redlinez. Choosing a helmet because a deer can hit a car on a track would be last on my list as probability wise that's likely to happen when we don't wear any (OTW to/from track, etc).
Vision is crucial. Lightest weight is crucial. Understanding what may happen with weight on one's head without HANS is crucial. Understanding what may happen when airbags releases harmful gases that might get captured in a closed face helmet is another (this did happen). I'd say it is unwise to suggest one is superior from the other as it all depends on circumstances. And nobody can predict them. So I'd say: each of us should do their due r+d and then decide what's best for us individually. For example, of one finds their vision is affected, or one's head over heats, IMO there is NO good reason to pick such a helmet according to very basic safety principles of avoidance vs any other considerations. But, that's just my opinion that I apply to myself and nobody else. As it should be done IMO.
